still unclear
DALLAS (AP) — Four of the nine
Southwest Conference schools will
go bowling in college football post
season action, although the destina
tions of Texas A&M and Arkansas
are still up in the air.
Baylor will face Colorado on New
Year’s Eve in Houston’s Bluebonnet
Bowl, and Texas Tech will travel to
Shreveport, La., on Dec. 20 to square
off against Mississippi in the Inde
pendence Bowl.
But Arkansas and Tech could
wind up in either the Cotton Bowl or
Miami, depending on the outcomes
of two games scheduled for Thanks
giving Day. If Texas A&M beats
Texas and if Miami beats East Caro
lina Thursday, the bowl picture in
volving SWC teams will look like
this:
• Texas A&M, will win the SWC
conference championship and play
Ohio State in the Cotton Bowl on
New Year’s Day. Ohio State accepted
a bid Saturday after losing to Michi
gan, 26-24.
• Arkansas will play Oklahoma in
the Orange Bowl. Arkansas blanked
Southern Methodist Saturday, 44-0,
and Oklahoma beat Nebraska, 20-
17.
But Texas A&M could end up in
the Orange Bowl if the Razorbacks
get to go to Dallas instead.
“We played today for that ring
(SWC title),” Texas A&M Coach
Jackie Sherrill said after his team’s
victory Saturday. “That’s something
nobody can take away from them.
Next week, we’ll play for the right to
go to the Cotton Bowl.”
If Texas beats Texas A&M on
Thursday, the SWC would have
three co-champions — Arkansas,
Texas and Baylor. A&M and Baylor
have been to the Cotton Bowl since
Arkansas, who last played in the
bowl in 1976.
In that scenario, Texas A&M
would either go to the Orange Bowl
or to the Fiesta Bowl, depending
upon what happens in the Miami-
East Carolina fallout.
Orange Bowl officials weren’t
speculating on what might happen.
“We’re just going to sit back and
see how things come out,” selection
committee chairman Pete Williams
said.
“Who’s to say we would have a
better game with Penn State? One of
the best Orange Bowls I’ve ever seen
was the Oklahoma-Arkansas game,”
he said. “Arkansas wasn’t very highly
rated in that one and pulled off the
upset.”
Williams was one of the game offi
cials in 1978 as sixth-ranked Arkan
sas beat No. 2 Oklahoma 3 1 -6.
The Orange Bowl officially will
make its invitation to the Oklahoma
opponent Thanksgiving night. At
the same time, Miami will make its
announcement after the East Caro
lina game, which ironically is to be
played in the Orange Bowl.
Oklahoma beat Penn State 25-10
last year in the Orange Bowl to win
the national championship. Should
Miami lose, the Orange Bowl could
be a rematch between Oklahoma
and Miami. Miami won the first
meeting, also played in the Orange
Bowl.

Sports Writer
In the game of football, an old ad
age is: “The best offense is a good
defense.”
In baseball, it’s: “Good pitching
will beat good hitting almost every
time.”
In basketball, as the Lady Aggies
found out Friday night in beating
the Yugoslavian Red Star Club team
77-68: speed, quickness and good
shooting will beat height almost ev
ery time.
The Lady Aggies, in winning their
first ever preseason exhibition
match, made an impressive showing
to open A&M Head Coach Lynn
Hickey’s third season, shooting 52.3
percent from the field and 56.2 per
cent from the line.
Leading the way for the Aggies
was sophomore guard Donna
Roper, 12 of 16 from the floor for
24 points, and junior forward Eve
lyn Sanders, 8 of 13 for 19 points.
Beth Young, with a strong second-
half showing, also pitched in 16
points.
The Red Star Club, which has
seven players over six feet tall, suf
fered only its third defeat in the nine
games. It had defeated Southwest
Texas State 80-72 Thursday.
Luckily for the Aggies, Hickey
was able to scout the Southwest
Texas game and saw that not only
did the Red Star Club have height,
but it also had guards who could hit
from outside the three-point line,
which is used in international con
tests.
Hickey decided not to use the
three-point shot for the Aggies’
game.
Chalk one up for Hickey, because
guard Mira Jovanovic kept the Yu
goslavians in the game in the second
half with 16 points, many of which
had the distance of interballistic mis
siles.
Sanders hit the first points of the
game with only 22 seconds gone in
the first half, and the Aggies never
looked back. At halftime, the Aggies
had a 39-33 lead, thanks to the
strong shooting of Sanders and eight
Yugoslavian turnovers.
For obvious reasons, Hickey was
pleased with her team’s perfor
mance, but expressed concern with
the Lady Aggies strength at the cen
ter position.
“We played really well tonight,”
she said. “A team like (the Red Star
Club) is difficult to play. The only
thing I’m concerned about is our
center situation. When L.J. (starting
center Lisa Jordan, who fouled out
with five minutes left in the game)
gets in foul trouble, we don’t have
anyone who can come in there and
take charge.”
After six weeks of practice,
Hickey said she was pleased with the
Aggies’ progress.
“We’re a lot further along this
year than we were last,” she said.
“Last year at this time, we didn’t
know half of the things we do now. I
think we’re more relaxed and more
confident.”

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Roy
Hinson scored 24 points and Julius
Erving added 23 as the under
manned Philadelphia 76ers, using
only eight players, defeated the
Houston Rockets 114-104 in an
NBA game Sunday night.
95-85 advantage with 8:15 left.
Five straight points by Erving

92 with 5:12 to go.
Charles Barkley, playing for the
first time since a spleen injury side
lined him Nov. 4, played the second
period and most of the fourth, con
tributing 12 points.
Tim McCormick, who suffered a
knee injury late in the game, added
17 points for Philadelphia. Akeem
Olajuwon scored a game-high 27
points for Houston, while Jim Peter
sen had 19.
Philadelphia led by as many as 16
points late in the second period, but
Houston rallied to within three on a
jump shot by Dave Feitl with 10:55
remaining. The 76ers then scored
seven straight points, capped by a
Barkley dunk, giving Philadelphia a
